School Lunches 
At St Chris we enjoy fresh, tasty vegetarian food for our school lunches. There are two hot choices and a salad bar each day, along with a pudding and fruit. Weekly menus can be found on My School Portal. 

Students eat lunch together in the Dining Hall, known as the IG (because many years ago it was used as an Indoor Gym!) and the times are staggered to allow the youngest to go first. 

Please let us know, via the Admissions Team, of any allergies or intolerances that your child may have. We are a nut and sesame free school.

Lunch is included in the fees for students from the Nursery (Monte) to Year 2 (H Group). Please see our fee information for charges for students from Year 3 (G Group) onwards. 

Packed Lunches
Rather than having school lunches, students are welcome to bring a nut-free, sesame-free vegetarian packed lunch which will be eaten alongside their class in the Dining Hall (IG) 

Parents should email the Finance Office before the start of each term to let us know if a student does not require school lunches as these are billed for in advance each term.

Snacks

All students are welcome to bring in a healthy vegetarian snack from home to have at Little Break (10.10am). They are also welcome to bring in an additional snack if they are staying for an after school club. Please ensure that your child does not bring sweets, chocolate bars or fizzy drinks to school, and that any snacks are vegetarian, nut and sesame-free. 

Cake Day
We hold a Cake Day each Friday as a treat for the students, who bring in 20p each to buy their cake, with all proceeds going to the Junior School Playfund, which buys new play equipment for the playground. 

Each class takes it in turn to provide the cakes; the rota (which is published at the start of each term) can be found on the calendar and the teacher will also remind the class when it’s their turn. We ask that students bring in 10-12 cakes which can either be homemade or bought. Please respect our vegetarian policy and ensure that cakes are nut and sesame free. (Please be aware that jelly sweets and other foods containing gelatine are often not vegetarian.)

If parents prefer, they can pay for the term upfront by giving the money to the class teacher.
